Student and Alumni Highlights

Alumni and Student Highlights

Our Multidisciplinary Engineering (MDE) and Interdisciplinary Engineering Studies (IDES) programs house driven students and produce interesting, high-achieving graduates. That may be because the programs give rise to emerging fields that expand the breadth and knowledge of what it means to be an engineer. These stories highlight the experiences and accomplishments of our alumni and students.
